Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .

“I have a 40’s model Willys CJ-2A. I purchased it a couple months back and ended up buying another Jeep last week that I am going to use instead of this one. Jeep is complete minus tailgate, seats, and a carb. Was told it ran from previous owner. No title but a title can be had by filing antique with SCDMV. Jeep has rust in floors and the tub. It is repairable. Frame is good. All original drivetrain is in tact.”

“I have a 1951 jeep cj3a with a 283 small block Chevy on cj5 axles and cj5 t15 3 speed
The jeep is not running currently as I was working on converting it to a 3 speed manual and adding power brakes and power steering using a yj brake booster and cj5 power steering box
The 283 is a strong runner with power pack heads and vette cam with an edelbrock 4 barrel carb and torquer ii intake. It has an hei distributor and ram horn exhaust with knock off flow masters that exit under the doors.
Richard Michalsky builds “mini-jeeps” out of his shop in Bolivia. These jeeps are all metal. The first vehicle, an MB look-a-like was completed in 3 years. It is 25% Smaller than the original vehicle and is 2WD, but has made of the same details. It is powered with a 3 Cyl engine from a Kia 1000cc. It weighs around 1250lbs.
This second jeep is a civilian model. It’s styled different, but appears to be built in a way similar to the MB-like jeep. It too is only 2WD. They look like a kick to drive around.
I spent far too much time in the sun today. I could have used an umbrella like this!

Former Washington State Forest Service FC-170.
“1962 JEEP Forward Control 170 4-Wheel Drive Truck
This is a two owner vehicle, with the original owner being the Washington State Forest Service. The custom ordered a snorkel and air brakes when this vehicle was purchased new. It has the original wench in the front bumper along with the original 6 cylinder engine and 4 speed manual transmission. The engine turns over freely but I have not attempted to get it running. The body shows plenty of wear but is pretty straight for a 1962 work horse. The bed has surface rust but is very solid and not rusted thru anywhere on the bed. The drivers side running board is in the bed of the truck. There is a dent in each front bottom corner of cab as you can see in photos. Other than that it’s just typical wear and tear. scratches bumps and bruises. Continue reading
